A huge thanks to Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills @selinarobinson for visiting two of our @BCBT_College facilities: @the_EJTC and @UAPICBC. It was a pleasure introducing you to our state-of-the-art facilities and the next generation of skilled tradespeople!
The @BCBT_College has launched its Trade Ambassador program! The aim is to attract more young people into the trades. The program is made up of young members of the Building Trades who have volunteered to go into schools across B.C. and talk with students.
Great to hear MLA @AndrewMercierBC talk on the @UALocal170's The Hall podcast about the importance of compulsory trades and training the next generation of skilled trade workers. We're ready to deliver on this critical initiative.

@BCBT_College @iuoe115 So proud to be a member of IUOE 115. Leadership at its best.
Our Training Plan looks forward to working with new Minister of Post-Sec & FutureSkills @lisabeare. Congratulations on the new role, minister! news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2024P…
Travis Woolford is a trades ambassador from @iuoe115: “You don't need a university ticket to be financially stable and have a good work-life balance,” he said. “You’re going to school and you’re getting paid, and you’re not accumulating all of that debt.
The Trade Ambassador program was developed with the input of BCBT affiliates and trades teachers across the high school system. It’s tailored to reach grade 10 students but is also meant to educate the public about the prestige that comes with a career in the skilled trades.
These programs can change lives. Kristy Lawton is a trades ambassador and an ironworker with @iwlocal97 who saw a trades presentation in high school: “If I didn't see that presentation, I probably wouldn't have even heard of (rebar), to be honest,” she said.
The uptake in schools has been strong since it kicked off in September. BC Building Trades director of workforce development Layne Clark estimates the program will reach approximately 5,000 students by the end of the school year.
November is Men's Health Awareness Month. Canada's Building Trades Unions will always advocate for the highest health and safety standards for our members. Like and share to show your support for men's health! #movember #buildingtrades
Thank you, Minister Bains! This is a big win for workers. We look forward to collaborating with you on the implementation of flush toilets on construction sites.
Our government knows that workplace health&safety is important to all workers. Clean & appropriate washroom facilities shouldn’t be a bonus on a jobsite,they are a necessity.We are listening & we are moving forward to make the healthy changes workers deserve @WeBuildBC @BCGovNews

Our trades training schools with the College of the BC Building Trades are the leading sponsors of apprentices, of women apprentices and of Indigenous apprentices. We're driving this surge! Now we just need the trades training funding to match! @BCBT_College
📈An 8% surge in apprenticeships marks a promising year for B.C.'s skilled trades! 🏗️ @SkilledTradesBC's annual report also highlights a significant increase in participation from Indigenous people, women, and youth. readsitenews.com/b-c-sees-surge…
We were thrilled to welcome College of the BC Building Trades #TradeAmbassadors at our training centre! High school educators who wish to schedule a workshop for their students, please contact @BCBT_College at [email protected].
Thank you to Minister of Education @RachnaSinghNDP and Minister of State for Workforce Development @AndrewMercierBC for checking out the Sheet Metal Workers Training Centre and the Refrigeration Training Institute. Two of our outstanding @BCBT_College facilities in Surrey!
B.C. residents know all too well the devastating impacts of wildfire. Our thoughts are with those affected by the fires on Maui. A BC Building Trades member was on Maui when the fires hit. Thankfully, they are okay.
As if the sweltering heat isn't enough of a challenge for construction workers, take a look at what they face when they need a bathroom break. 40 DEGREES. All construction workers deserve flush facilities with running water, cooling/heating and lighting. We've waited long enough!
If you don’t need to travel to any wildfire affected area - please don’t. With thousands of people evacuated in the Okanagan, this travel order will help make sure we have accommodation for evacuees and emergency personnel who need it.
Due to significant #BCWildfire activity, please don't travel for non-essential reasons to Central Interior and Southeast BC. An emergency order is in place in the Okanagan to free up temporary accommodation like hotels, motels & campgrounds. Follow @EmergencyInfoBC
2023 63rd Annual Canadian Conference of International Union of Operating Engineers begins now. Looking forward to sharing our successes and preparing for the future. #operatingEngineers #iuoe #bcconstruction
In collaboration with @CFOFBC, our Training Centre welcomed a cohort of women last Sunday. The participants explored the #sheetmetal trade while making “Carry Some” metal toolboxes. Well done, everyone!
The apprentices at @iwlocal97 also showed us all the amazing career opportunities available to young British Columbians. It was great see people from all walks of life coming together and making their community the thriving place it is today. (3/3)
